    oil level sensor

    So an oil /filter change at the dealer I bought if from new in 2017 cured the issues. Thanks for the help. I'm planning on trading it in on a 2023 Ford Maverick hybrid next week. We don't need 2 sedans any more so we are keeping our Chevy Volt as we have solar and most of our driving other than...

    oil level sensor

    The oil level is right at the top of the hashmark on the dipstick. I'll try taking a bit more out. No "red" oil can so the pressure seems to be OK according to the idiot light. I haven't checked for codes yet because my windows laptop died and I'm waiting for my computer guy to give me a...

    oil level sensor

    I had the oil change in our 2015 Passat TDI recently. They used Liqui Moly 507 00 5W30 . All seem fine until about halfway home, 35 miles or so, the yellow "oil can" symbol started flashing occasionally. I pulled over and checked and the oil wasn't low. When I got home and let it set for...

    DPF Availability

    They should extend it a full year for all the BS you had to deal with. That is what I'd press them for. The worst they can say is no which is what they seem to want to tell you anyway.

    Front clunk - Sway bar Links or Bushings

    At 44K I started noticing the "clunk" but no adverse handling. After reading this thread I picked up a pair of Moog links from Amazon "used like new" stating they were "new, packaging damaged" for <$36/pair. They were the last 2 in stock. They arrived Friday via UPS and I installed them...

    Paying $29k for a 105mi 2015 Passat TDI

    we did the buyback on our 2013 SE w/40K in 2017. We got $21K so we bought a nos 2015SEL for an extra $1.5. It now has 44k on the odo. I think it needs new front sway bar links. I'll be checking into that soon. The car otherwise has been faultless. I had our local wrench do the 40K service for...

    2013 Passat Driver's Side Heat blend door servo replacement

    Yesterday my wife told me our 15 SEL was blowing hot air from the drivers side vents with the AC on. The passenger side was working just fine. It's 5 years old but only about 45K on the odo. This car has been totally trouble free so far and only has the 1st emissions update. I did the 2 button...

    Project 2013 SE

    Best of luck. We had a 13 SE with no issues at 40K, did the buy back. Picked up a NOS 2015 SEL in 2017 for the buyback and about $1.5K. It's now at 41K miles and we haven't had ANY problems EVER with it except for a battery that died shorly after we purchased it. The dealer replaced the...

    Another heater core?

    So is the extended heater core warranty for a 2015 as well? 41K and never so much as a check engine light. This has been one of the most reliable cars we've ever owned. What about a coolant flush Oil Hammer? I'd do the delete but I doubt if it would pass the NH emissions test.

    Dealership Passat Battery Install

    I bought a 3120 John Deere compact utility 3cyl Yanmar diesel tractor in 2009. It has the original battery. Our 2015 Passat SEL TDI we bought new in 2017 had the battery fail a few months after we purchased it. It was replaced after a tow to the dealership along with a $100 gift card for our...

    analog clock issue

    maybe, but it's been doing it since new so I have some doubt its a gear issue. No matter, it isn't worth my time troubleshooting with my VCDS unless I'm there for another reason.

    Should I or should I not? B7 Passat

    We have a L2 Clipper Creek charger and I plug it in every time unless I just drive a few miles in warm months. It will heat and cool the battery via the L2 charger as the computer deems necessary.

    Should I or should I not? B7 Passat

    my daughter has a gen 1 volt over 100K miles with no drivetrain issues just regular stuff brakes etc. we have a 2018 gen 2 volt. The bolts I've seem appear to have much cheaper interiors/seats than the volt. I just drove it this AM for 30 miles and the ICE came on each time it started it, the...
